I am trying to display hdd temp in conky as per;

${color slate grey}drive temp: ${alignr}${color lightgrey}${execi 5 hddtemp /dev/sda |  cut -c 30-40}

This is the result with odd formatting;

Calling all conky experts!
How do I format this output correctly?:/

${color grey}HDD temp: ${execi 30 sudo hddtemp -n /dev/sda} C

remove sudo if needed

Thanks Coacher!
Actually with a bit of experimentation I got it formatted this way too;

${color slate grey}sda: ${alignr}${color lightgrey}${execi 30 hddtemp /dev/sda |  cut -c 31-33}C

Cheers:D

If you force UTF-8, it should work afaik. Plus it's the cleaner way .

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes
